Tis the Season...

...for Baking! Two days this week have been given to some serious baking with Jeanie...we decided to bake cookies for the neighborhood and hand them out with invitations to our church's Christmas Eve service. I'm looking forward to meeting some neighbors I don't yet know. Behold the fruits of our labor... Are you hungry?



Another "baking" endeavor, which has occupied our kitchen table in its entirety for the last few days, is a gingerbread house that our college group made. It's quite impressive, with a garage, car, and swingset and all. It's actually a contest within the college group of who can build the best house. The other part of this equation is whose house can blow up the best. Yes, you read that correctly. What you can't see is that this house is loaded with all kinds of firecrackers (notice one inside the chimney), and beautiful house is going to be blown apart to smitherines come Tuesday. Ah, well, I suppose there had to be some interest for the guys in all of this! :)

If you have any left over, I know a home in Wheaton that could absorb some. We are having 62 for Christmas, I believe. Of course, 8 are under a year, so it's really a mere 54.

I am impressed! And hopefully so will your neighbors...and then they will want to see where the little bakers go to church!

Praise God for your heart for your neighbors. I know that was not an easy task with two little ones! I pray many will respond to our loving Lord!!
